Access Statement for Wayford Bridge Inn
Introduction
The Wayford Bridge Hotel offers a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for all its guests. It was converted to a hotel in 2000 and has since been a well known hotel in Norfolk.
The cottage where reception is located dates back to the 18th century. Recently we have added a new patio area for you to enjoy and watch life go by on the river side, also a new children’s play area has been installed for the young ones to explore, alternatively why not stretch your legs with a stroll round our glorious gardens after dining in one of our two restaurants.
